Great to see you again, I`m glad that I am able to post and share this wonderful image with you all. This sweet little image is called Easy Listening and is designed by Mari Digis. You can check out this image at Stamping studio.

I loved working with this image cause who doesn't like to sit back and listen to some great music, whether your happy or sad there is not a time that music doesn't help heal your soul. Taking a long drive or just sitting in your home......music is the answer sometimes....try it.

This card is created in honor of all the wonderful people who love to sit back and sooth their soul with some music that why I used the heading ``thinking of you``

cause I am.

Thank you for popping by today. I hope that I could help you create and remember take time to listen to some music and sooooth your soul.

Its been a while for sure., I've had a few things on my plate the last little while. A few of my family members have been sick, so I've been a little bit preoccupied.......Sorry. Iv'e had a few s

I have had a family member diagnosed with cancer and My 2 1/2 year old niece has been diagnosed with Childhood nephritic syndrome. Her filters on her kidneys are no working and so she has to receive treatment in the hospital 3 times a week. My stresses have been a bit higher than usual but it is nice to be able to dive into something you love and be creative. This does help get your mind off of things.

So for you today I have created a card using a fantasist image from Miss Daisy Stamps called

Becca's Butterfly. Such a sweet image to create with, then I found this great paper that fit so well with this sweet image.

I hope you pop by Miss daisy Stamps to check out all the wonderful images available.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!!!!
Have a fantastic day.
Hope to see you back next week.

Today is the first day of the week and I am not very motivated to do much of anything. My husband & I went to where we were both raised to visit family. We went because it was mothers day on the weekend and thought it would be nice to visit family.

I can actually say that I am emotionally & physically drained today.

We visited my niece and her young two year old daughter to drop off a special gift from us to her. She is only 2 and just been diagnosed with a kidney disease, so no one is sure what is in store for her cause no of the medication that she is receiving seem to be helping.am hoping that something works for her and that her kidneys will work better, the filters in her kidney are not filtering the protein in her body

But she is always smiling and is the happiest little girl ever for what she has been going through.

Plus there are some other health issues going on with someone on my side of the family so I'm concerned with them as well.

My emotions have been very up and down the past few days.

But on a positive note, we came home early cause my daughter wanted to spend time with me on mothers day before she had to work last night. We went for brunch and she bought me the most wonderful card and candle holder for the patio.

Love her to bits and she loves sunflowers, they are her favorite flower. so thinking of her as I post this card.

I have worked with this image before and absolutely love it. The file does come with a sentiment, but I was away from my home and computer so I had to work with what I had. This is just a sentiment off of a rubber stamp set that I happen to have with me. I had picked up some new dies and had to use them for this beautiful image.

Well it is here anyways the sun is actually shining today. I have been a little to busy to be able to actually enjoy it, but none the less it's beautiful here. I guess in the evenings I do enjoy it, cause I have to chocolate labs. They are 12 years old so not into more than actually being with you but after they get there supper, ......It's walk time. They wont leave you alone until they get a walk that seems to be the highlight of their day. Even if you don't feel like it they push you and bug until you do feel like it LOL! But none the less I love them to bits and the walk is good for me right!

This file comes with 6 images and they are all way to cute. I picked this image with

the flower cause well he's way to cute and I thought with the great spring weather there will be flowers popping up soon. I never did any popped up pieces on this card but I did make a stamping border around the outside of the green paper to give a bit of a different look to my card. This card is a bit simpler than I normal create but I think that It make my colored image stand out a bit more.

I found these fantastic edge dies from Heartfelt creations, and I'm definitely in love.

I really wanted to use this one cause I had not used it before, this little bear totally fit in for what I was doing.

The movement of the circle around the bear and the curves of the die just add so much flow to my card. Seeing that there was a butterfly in the image that I colored with copics I found a few butterfly dies that fit in beautifully with this card.

This cute little image would work so well as a new baby card, birthday, just because......so many themes.

Actually it kind of a gloomy overcast day, no sun, no rain and no snow yet........?? According to our local radio the rain and the snow are on the way today, which is the way the last week or so have been. We have had enough snow already I think everyone has. It's sooooooo time for some sunshine and get on with spring.

So now that you have a bit of my weather forecast you wont think that I'm off my rocker for doing a winter card at this time of year unless you live in Alberta, Canada....LOL.

I thought that this would be a fitting card given our weather of snow on a fairly regular basis lately. I made this super cute card using an image from Miss Daisy Stamps called "Hug a Snowman". This is another card that I made while I was away before Easter. I found these super cute snowflake buttons at their local craft/ fabric store and they worked perfectly for this card.

The file is super cute and you can also get a couple different sentiment files with some really great sentiments on them.

So here is my"Spring" card!

I had to do a closer picture to show you the buttons that I used. I just used scissors to cut of the button loop and glue dotted them down.

Great to see you back again, I took a week and went on a road trip right before Easter to my sister in laws (sister), it was about 9 hours away from where I live. I was hoping to have nice weather but not so much..... it rained just about the whole time. At the last minute as I was leaving decided to take some of my scrapbooking things, which turned out to be the best idea. I created in the evenings after supper and got so many fantastic cards finished.

I am more than thrilled with the outcome of my cards and to be able to share them with you every week for the next month or so.

Jennifer Nilsson Art.. The really sad part is that this and all her other images are only avaliable until April 30, 2017. All Jennifer's images are now 50% off, so I would hurry and check it out and stock on some fantastic digital images.

I felt that this image is still fitting to post even after Easter because all the school children here are still on Easter break until next week.

I colored this sweet little guy with copic markers and did a simple background of spring pink and a little bit of bling embellishments, with a time to celebrate sentiment.

I printed 2 images and colored the feet on both because I wanted to pop up the feet and give this some dimension.

Thank you for stopping by I hope you have a fantastic day and are super creative today in all that you do!

Welcome back to my blog!

Welcome back, today it's a bit foggy here but the temperature is suppose to reach about 12C. I'm hoping that will be a nice temp. to bring in the weekend, so glad that spring is finally here and once all the snow it completely gone it will be even better.

This winter has been a long one for me, so to see more sunshine and to get outside more will be fantastic!

With the warm weather comes outdoor sports like baseball, so in honor of that I thought this adorable little owl was a fitting card to post today. I love the Toronto blue jays so I decided to do him in their color of blue.

This adorable image is called Owl-Ways Baseball and can be found on the Miss Daisy Stamp website. It also comes with a whole bunch of sentiments which are so cute to put on a card, I couldn't decide which one to use so I put a bunch on it. I also found these little wooden embellishments that have hash tags, exclamation marks and a bunch of others so I includes a couple on this card. Everyone seems to be using Instagram and snap chat so I added a # play ball on the bottom corner of this card.

A few of the sentiments included with this digital image.

The baseball is in the file as well I popped it up for a bit of dimension.

I love this part of my card with the circular tag and the ink distressed hash tag.

I hope that this card has given you a little bit of inspiration to create or go to a ball game lol.

Good Morning!

Welcome back to my blog! as promised another card this week. The last few days in my life have been crazy busy with lots of driving and appointments, I'm sure you know exactly what I mean. It seems like you have a bit of a quiet period in your life then everything comes all at once.

But in there I managed to get to a couple scrapbook stores and bought some fabulous dies which I can't wait to use. I said some which is more than 1 or 2. UGHHHH! LoL.

I have colored some more images and can hardly wait to get putting some things to share with you.

Well Hi there!!!!!

Sorry you havent seen me around on my blog for a while. I have not been creating in forever. So to be able to actually sit down and be creative has been near impossible for me. Thank goodness for the patience and understanding from my wonderful DT for putting up with my absences.

I have been having a hard time with some things and being creative has been one of them but I think I have got some things figured out and that my fog has been lifted.

So let the creating begin again!!!!!!

For the next three weeks I have posted cards on my blog and this one is the first:

This one is called Bear Hugs -Teddy from the collection of wonderful digis created by Jennifer Nilsson. You can check out all her wonderful digis by clicking here! This link will take you to Miss Daisy stamps where you can get some of the cutest images from Jennifer as well as from Miss Daisy Stamps.

They are all so cute I don't think you will be able to not buy more than one.

So here is my card

A bit of a closer look at the image all colored with copic markers.

I added these great wood heart embellishments and popped them up to give the card some dimension.
